REMINDER
Walking School Bus restarting
The local Walking School Bus program will restart in March to give Dillon schoolchildren the option of enjoying an invigorating walk to school in the morning. The program is looking for volunteers to help shepherd children along two routes. To find a map of the routes, visit https://www.beaverheadtrails.org/walkingschool. Anyone wishing to volunteer or get more information for their children to participate can call Jamie Flynn at 683-3780 (note, the phone number sent out last week by Walking School Bus organizers and published by the Tribune was off by one number), email beaverheadtrails@gmail.com, or consult the Facebook page “Dillon, MT Walking School Bus”.
